In my unreleased completion code (which is behaves similarly to
partial-completion-mode as a first approximation), I can do:
C-x C-f ~/toto/*.sas TAB
or even
C-x C-f ~/toto/**/*.sas TAB
so as to look in subdirectories as well. Sadly, it's not in a good shape
and will need a rewrite before it has a chance to making it into Emacs
(i.e. next century maybe).
